|
I kneel before you in the silence of darkness.
|
1 |
|
Tears run down my face, crashing at your feet.
|
2 |
|
My body aches for you to hold me within you,
|
3 |
|
but my bruises scream for you to leave me alone.
|
4 |
|
As your body hovers over me, I can't stand your touch.
|
5 |
|
Wondering what is going through your mind while
|
6 |
|
I appear more vulnerable than ever.
|
7 |
|
This pain is just too much to handle.
|
8 |
|
|
|
|
--
|
9 |
|
|
|
|
Washing the filth off of my skin,
|
10 |
|
the bruises appear more horrific.
|
11 |
|
Taking a cloth to clean my knees, it stains to red.
|
12 |
|
I know these memories will stay to haunt me.
|
13 |
|
How can you sleep just knowing
|
14 |
|
the torment that I'm in?
|
15 |
|
|
|
|
I wonder why you hurt me.
|
16 |
|
You once told me you were my 'guardian angel'.
|
17 |
|
You'd be the first one there to protect me from all pain.
|
18 |
|
I feel like a child needing to be punished.
|
19 |
|
You tell me I need discipline in order to learn a lesson.
|
20 |
|
So you hit me to keep me in place, not to be such a fool;
|
21 |
|
To be more intellegent.
|
22 |
|
|
|
|
But how can you say you love me
|
23 |
|
with the palm of your hand?
